Authors' conceptual interpretation in the framework development section, not a tested result. The article states that "over-reliance on GAI can weaken teaching presence by reducing human interaction, potentially limiting mentorship opportunities," and similarly warns that over-reliance as a teammate risks diminishing peer-to-peer interaction and collaborative skills.

"However, over-reliance on GAI can weaken teaching presence by reducing human interaction, potentially limiting mentorship opportunities."
